Chapter 737 - 283: Sometimes People Must Fall Twice in the Same Place_2
Qiao Ze only allowed him to stay in the office for a week, and with the time to clear up the synthesis of the new element so tight, who had the leisure to discuss the Containment Graviton issue with those people from the West?
During this period, Edward Witten was most grateful for having pulled Yang Xuanqing and his team over to verify the Containment Graviton and that the collaboration between them had been rather pleasant.
This had laid the foundation for the bid to verify new element 119 as quickly as possible.
Indeed, after discussing with Qiao Ze the existence of a stable isotope of element 119, Edward Witten had contacted Yang Xuanqing, who was still on duty at CERN.
He told him to wait for Qiao Ze's paper and to write an application in his (Edward's) name to conduct related verification work immediately upon receiving it.
Applying for various experiments at CERN was competitive.
Materials were limited and scarce, so competition was always necessary.
Yang Xuanqing's reputation obviously could not compete with those key scientists from the member states, but under Edward's name, it was a different story.
In Edward Witten's view, although Yang Xuanqing's theoretical foundation was somewhat lacking, his advantage lay in his strong analytical skills and rich experience, as well as his ability to read Qiao Ze's papers without any trouble.
Put it this way, in the unique environment of the laboratory, Yang Xuanqing was actually more useful than he was.
Thus, this time he could stay in Qiao Ze's office at Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute, remotely directing Yang Xuanqing and his team to collaborate and synthesize element 119 following the ideas provided by Qiao Ze.
In a sense, this was truly a collaboration between strong parties.
Naturally, it wasn't just the European Nuclear Research Center that was busy validating the new element; any lab with the capability to do so was engrossed in the tense work at that moment.
Qiao Ze also had a say in this matter.
Because he, too, had received many emails during this period.
Not to mention the domestic ones.
Internationally, the Onegin Research Institute, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Douglas Stoppel Laboratory, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research...
And so on, many research institutes and laboratories studying high-energy physics had sent inquiry emails, consulting on some details of the synthesis experiment for element 119.
If Qiao Ze were to deal with all these meticulous questions, he would most likely choose to outright ignore them. Fortunately, this kind of non-theoretical work could be handed over directly to Dou Dou.
In a sense, these research institutions were also experiencing the convenience brought on by the revolutionary AI technology.
After all, even when compared to an average person, Dou Dou would definitely be the most patient one, let alone compared to Qiao Ze.
Moreover, Dou Dou and Qiao Ze were at completely opposite extremes.
Qiao Ze would subconsciously think of his conversational partners as very intelligent, but Dou Dou's premise was that every person it needed to interact with was an idiot, so it explained details in a way that even an idiot could understand.
This was probably also why Dou Dou was not suitable for teaching mathematical theories to students—because it simply could not explain those theories in a language that an idiot could understand.
Of course, the impact of the paper on element 119 did not stop there.
In the paper, Qiao Ze did not shy away from the huge role the material model technology played in the discovery of new elements.
It is well known that there are two kinds of material models in the world.
Not only does Huaxia have one, but far across the ocean, there is another country that has conquered the technology of material models. They even specially tested it, although the effect of that demonstration was hard to describe. But at least now they truly possess the model; what they lack is merely the activation code.
Really, many times the thought processes of many high IQ individuals may upend an ordinary person's conception of intelligence.
Some decisions too idiotic, even for the most brainless individuals, continue to cycle and play out in every corner of the world, as if to make people sincerely exclaim that reality can indeed be more illogical than fiction.

United States, Washington.
Romand Willy had not expected that discussions about reactivating the material model would be back on his desk, with a very high priority, no less.
The last experience could be described as the most shameful stain in his career, to the point where he did not even want to bring up any decisions concerning the material model.
To address the potential negative consequences of the material model, he had also done a series of additional work. This included, but was not limited to, a series of fluctuations in a certain virtual currency lately...
What mattered most was that the whole affair kept him on tenterhooks for a long while.
He was still holding his position in Langley only because the worst had not happened. The material model that was already in operation had not developed in the worst direction and had not shown the destructiveness anticipated.
This was corroborated by a report from technical experts that was over five hundred pages long.
Otherwise, he would have likely been thrown out by now.
This had at times left Romand Willy unclear about what the Huaxians were thinking when they delivered that model into his hands.
Was it not for the sake of obtaining those confidential reports? Was it truly just a coincidence by two clumsy individuals who sent over a test version of the model that Huaxians didn't care about?
Although Romand Willy always felt that matters were not that simple, a team comprised of top computer experts had not found any trace of system intrusion, so he had no choice but to chalk it all up to coincidence.
Consider it being swindled out of over three hundred million. In the end, a third party paid the bill anyway.
What do you think?
